Police: Pa. woman dealt drugs from wheelchair

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Police say a central Pennsylvania woman who claims to be too disabled to work sold $90 worth of marijuana to an informant after the woman had another man push her to the drug deal in her wheelchair.

The Altoona Mirror (http://bit.ly/GTZzSo ) reports 37-year-old Stephanie McChessney, of Altoona, and a man she claims as her adopted son, 21-year-old Richard Farber, were arraigned Thursday on charges stemming from the alleged Aug. 23 incident.

That's when Farber allegedly wheeled McChessney to meet the informant who gave her $90. Police say McChessney handed the money to Farber, who ran down the street to get the drugs. Police say the duo also sold $380 worth of pot to another informant Aug. 31.
